Undergraduate Minor in Medieval Studies

Although the Medieval Institute does not offer a major in Medieval Studies, the many undergraduate classes offered at the University in medieval language, literature, history, and religion can be combined to form a minor. Undergraduate students are also welcome to attend the International Congress on Medieval Studies held annually at WMU.

The Minor Program

Students with an undergraduate minor must complete twenty-four hours of coursework to include the following:

Medieval 1450, Heroes and Villains of the Middle Ages (3 hrs.)

History 3600, Medieval World (3 hrs.)

Eighteen additional hours of coursework selected from the list below, with the approval of the Director. The student should take care that the courses selected represent the interdisciplinary nature of Medieval Studies; therefore, a maximum of two courses from each category may be credited toward the minor.
